In this week's episode, we were joined by our friend Tim – who you may know as the Bard of Arda on TikTok (formerly @GlamdringFoeHammer). This episode covers the chapters “The Palantir” and “Minas Tirith” – which corresponds to the extended edition of Return of the King starting at about 18 and a half minutes in and ends at about minute 54 or 55.

Our discussion includes:

• Pippin's experience with the Palantir in the book and movie
• Where did the Palantiri come from?
• Ahnna's first impression of Denethor
• A few amazing lines from Gandalf that were cut from the movie
